“Sometimes things seem to explode in the classroom, and what do we do then? Knowing strategies for turning difficult encounters into learning opportunities enables us to address important, but hot, topics such as- religion, politics, race, class, gender-in our classroom discussions.”

- Lee Warren, Derek Bok Center
